- AI Investment boom raises cross - asset risks as capex cycle matures , says BCA research strategist
BCA Research's Peter Berezin sees AI as transformative but warns of a major market correction if productivity gains lag investment, with the core risk being financial and timing-related. The five largest hyperscalers are expected to spend over $1 trillion next year, while the industry may need about $10 trillion in annual revenue to justify the outlay. He says the equity bull market is mature rather than over, with a possible Nasdaq drawdown of around 50% in 2028, a bigger risk than 2027. He doubts China can offset a US slowdown and is neutral on equities and bonds near term, but expects to become more constructive on US duration, as real yields near 3% already offer attractive carry. He favors industrial metals over oil long term and remains bullish on gold.
- AI investment boom raises cross-asset risks as capex cycle matures, says BCA research strategist
Peter Berezin, Chief Global Macro Strategist at BCA Research, argues AI remains transformative but the main risk is financial and about timing, as returns may arrive too slowly to justify current capital spending. The five largest hyperscalers are expected to spend over $1 trillion next year, while the industry may need roughly $10 trillion in annual revenue to monetise the investment, based on his assumptions. He warns that chipmakers booking sales upfront while hyperscalers capitalise and depreciate their spending could obscure mounting pressure on returns. Berezin sees the equity bull market as mature rather than over, expecting consolidation before a bigger risk in 2028, when the Nasdaq could fall around 50%, while a 2027 US recession looks unlikely. He doubts China can offset a US slowdown, stays neutral on equities and bonds near term, and remains structurally bullish on gold.

- Russia cites reasons planned diesel exports may fall
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on October 30 that planned diesel export volumes could fall because of Ukrainian drone (UAV) attacks, though the reduction may be small. He argued the attacks on Russian refineries harm the global energy market. Russia had earlier planned to export 510,000 tonnes of diesel in October and could reach 2.15 million tonnes in November. After an October 9 call between Presidents Putin and Trump, Moscow reaffirmed its readiness to supply oil products to the US and global markets, and Trump praised the diesel arrangement with Russia.
- Apple's Biggest Threat Isn't Android — It's AAPL's Own Devices, Analyst Says Ahead Of Q4 Earnings
Craig Moffett of MoffettNathanson warns Apple's valuation, about 36 times forward earnings, leaves little room for disappointment ahead of its fiscal Q4 report on Monday. With an earnings yield of about 2.8%, roughly half the Treasury yield, and shares up about 27% this year, investors may have priced in too much safety. His bigger concern is that higher memory costs have lifted base device prices by about $100 and carriers have not offset them with promotions, so consumers may delay upgrades. Wall Street expects EPS of $1.98 on revenue of $113.25 billion. Deepwater's Gene Munster forecasts 20 million iPhone Duo units in FY27, versus the Street's roughly 12 million.
- China reports sharp increase in gold, nickel and strategic minerals - Xinhua
China reported sharp increases in its gold, nickel and other strategic mineral reserves after a nationwide reassessment, according to Xinhua. Rhenium resources rose more than 200%, while gold and nickel reserves grew by amounts equal to 50 and 30 large deposits, respectively. The yearlong survey covered 17 strategic minerals at more than 1,800 operating mines and mining areas across 27 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, including associated and lower-grade deposits. Separately, China found its first paleofluvial-lacustrine zircon placer deposit in Baicheng, Xinjiang, which could substantially boost domestic zircon supply. The increases reflect revised resource estimates rather than necessarily new discoveries.

- North Korea says sanctions only work on the weak
North Korea condemned a joint statement by the United States, Australia, Britain and South Korea, which monitor sanctions enforcement, calling it a gross violation of its sovereignty stemming from US and Western hostility, according to KCNA on 31/10. A foreign ministry spokesperson said sanctions and pressure may work on the weak but have no effect on North Korea, and that US and Western sanctions cannot change its status as a nuclear-armed state. The joint statement urged UN member states to fully implement Security Council resolutions adopted since 2006, including bans on North Korean labor and military cooperation with Pyongyang. Separately, South Korea, the US and Japan reaffirmed their commitment to the complete denuclearization of North Korea, agreed to maintain strong deterrence, and pursued dialogue, as their foreign ministers met on the sidelines of the G20 in Atlanta on 30/10.
- A SpaceX and Tesla Merger Will Only Be Successful If This One Thing Happens
SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) are both exploring a possible merger, with each company's separate committee assessing the deal. The two companies already collaborate on projects, including the Terrafab semiconductor venture formed by SpaceX, Tesla and Intel, which may also draw in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. The article argues chip manufacturing is central to any lasting merger, but Terrafab remains an idea, with production not planned until 2028 at the earliest and facing heavy upfront capital and technical hurdles. It suggests SpaceX may be interested in Tesla's cash, which stood at $45 billion at the end of last quarter, even as Tesla's operating income fell 56% and its revenue is not growing. The author notes both stocks trade at premium valuations, with Tesla's P/E in the hundreds and SpaceX's $2 trillion market cap compared with trailing revenue of $33 billion.
